Vikings to host daylong summit on LGBTQ inclusion in sports

May. 16, 2018

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings plan to hold a daylong summit on LGBTQ inclusion in sports next month.

The Vikings announced Wednesday the summit will be held at the team's new headquarters in Eagan on June 21. A reception will be held afterward to raise money for local and national LGBTQ organizations.

In 2014, Kluwe accused Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer of making anti-gay comments toward Kluwe while he was still on the team as a way of goading him for his gay rights advocacy. Priefer was eventually suspended for the first three games of the 2014 season and sent to workplace sensitivity training.
